The Bass up here are still spawning.. Water temp in most lakes are 63 - 68 F. I have seen some real big fish on their beds in the shallows. I haven't been distrubing them..... Can't fish for them up here with a barbed hook until mid June.. Bet I could catch them with a Shiner but the action will pick up soon enough. Nothing better than top water fishing bass in the early morning or late evening. Been catching walleyes and crappies though
